چکیده
Methods Data are based upon the Adult Complementary and Alternative Medicine supplement, the Sample Adult core, and the Family core components of the 2007 NHIS. The survey contained reasons for using CIH including treatment of a specific health problem, general wellness or general disease prevention, and other reasons. We created four mutually exclusive categories for analysis: 1) “yes” to treatment, “no” to wellness; 2) “yes” to wellness, “no” to treatment; 3) “yes” to both; 4) “no” to both. We also examined additional reasons for using CIH.
